Life 2.2.3

You have been two for 2 weeks and 3 days. We celebrated Easter the day after your party. We had so much fun finding confetti eggs in the afternoon... You lived cracking them on Mommys head. We are still hunting them some afternoons!
You started coloring in a brand new way. On coloring pages or in books, inside the lines so intentionally. Your little face is so cute to watch as you are coloring. :)
You love playing in forts in bed. They are all sorts of things. The newest ones are a present (you were a tiny baby inside of it!!) another new fort is a car. You would play the Elmo cd and car dance. Penguin was in the carseat (pillow) next to you.
You love being naked. And taking all your clothes off when we get home from somewhere (especially if you are ready to go to sleep) . I love this naked "nature girl" picture. We were picking rain Lilly's from the yard and putting then in our hair. You were standing on a rock. Yesterday you had to take your clothes off because you wanted to dance. Oh Lila you were cracking me up!
I love you

Mother's Day 2013

Today is Mother's day!! Sadly I had a wedding super early this morning (the bride was so sweet so it made up for it!)  i hated having to leave you.  next year you will be 3, i think old enough to kake breakfast for me!  :) maybe a parfait!  i will block the morning off now!! :) 

Avery was in town and stayed with us.  You were sleeping when I left (at 6:15!) and woke up with Avery in your bed... She said you were sad and confused for a minute but y'all cuddled it out :) what a sweet aunt.  After I got home by 9 we just played with Avery in your playroom, ate lunch and took a nap :) 

This afternoon we went to natural gardener with Avery.  You had a watermelon Popsicle and we walked to see the hickeys and goats.  We fed the donkeys and watched them for a while.  We played in the butterfly garden.  We played in the labrinth, a blanching game we made up.  "Watch me mommy" you would balance on the rocks and walk to the bunch of wild flowers, then cheering! "Yay I made it to the purple flowers!" Then you would  "ill sit here and watch you mommy". I would pick a bunch of flowers to walk to and we would cheer!  Its these little moments that I want to remember and feel forever.  I feel so lucky that I get to share these moments with you everyday.  Being a mommy is a gift and I feel so lucky I am sharing my life with you Lila!  

After dinner we made a craft.  We painted a canvas and then painted each others hands and printed mine then yours on top.  

I kiss you a million times a day "one million kisses" I tell you.  But Lila, it is never enough.  With every cell in my body I love you and it will remain this way forever. 

Love,

Mommy
